My Project

Having these items will let the children know how the chick life cycle happens. They will get to watch the eggs grow and hatch. They will get to use the plastic eggs to watch the process even though they can't see in the egg. They will also learn about responsibility of taking care of an animal in the classroom.

I want my students to explore the life cycle of chicks!

We are a Head Start preschool where most of our children don't get the opportunities to experience this kind of learning at home, so we wanted to bring it into the classroom.
